Thread: Anyone know about a Kropp?

Osborne, Garrett & Co Ltd made the razors branded:
Kropp
Elmo
Carrara
Ogee
Osgar

I know it's an old thread but Here are some Kropp ads.

Thanks for the ads Max. I like your new avatar.

I've just come by a Kropp, too, (and a Carrara in the same batch), and once again, it's "ground in Hamburg". The grind is of the bellied hollow variety, which is to say like a Hamburg Ring style. Mine also has a blade engraving by the agent, "A. Renshaw, Hairdresser, 1a Market Walk, Huddersfield". The Carrara, by the way, is Sheffield made and cosmetically very similar, but with a less pronounced belly, and a better polish job: it could easily have been forged by the same maker. In England Kropp seem to enjoy a good reputation without having developed a cult around them, which is good news for people looking for a decent shaver at a sensible price.

I have a 6/8 round point, its great

I own a 6/8 Kropp. It probably was made about 1910. It is a nice heavy blade, feels good in your hand, and shaves like a dream.

I have a couple small KROPP's I just found two new 7/8ths+ blades without scales. I feel blessed!!

Another day another three 8/ 8ths Kropp's. An old Friend done found them in drawer. Again, scales needed, should help rectify a bad case of optirectitus complicated by laziness. A good Day in the neighborhood! May the luck join you this weekend!
